Bottiger

Bottiger, Johann Friedrich, alchemist, was born in 1682 in Reuss-Schleiz. After fruitlessly searching for the philosopher's stone, the King of Saxony took him in hand, and made him experiment on porcelain, the result being the invention of the celebrated Meissen porcelain. He died in 1719.
